Ron called a family meeting last week for a very important matter. Here's how the meeting started:
Ron: If you pee it - or poop it - PULL IT!
read: flush your waste!
(blank stares, followed by giggles)
He went on to explain that since we are all getting "older", it is high time that Mommy stopped flushing all the toilets (I might have been openly frustrated after having flushed my 16th toilet full of waste.)
Since we often let the kids help decide the consequences, it was elected that if you forgot to PULL IT! you would forgo any treat/gum for the remainder of the day. He had the kids repeat the mantra and adjourned the meeting.
Fast forward to today where I am about to take a much-needed siesta (that would be 2 seconds in the bathroom by myself) and find myself face-to-face with.....well, do I really need to explain further?
When I asked the kiddos who had forgotten to PULL IT! Lauren said, "Um, it might have been me?" At the same time, Madeline peeked in and said, "Wasn't me, I wipe 3 times."
(TMI, I know, but crucial to the story, and somewhat hilarious.....and TMI, I know)
Sure enough, there was one, small sheet of 2-ply floating. Lauren's cover was officially blown.....and I got a visual reminder that we have more than just the PULL IT! issue to reckon with.

H-LER-I-OUS!!!!!!!
I have to say I am super happy to read this post as I thought I was the only one who had kids who had no idea what to do with that little lever on the side of the toliet.
As for twitter...I'v give up. Can't figure it out. I get nothing...super bummed:(
OMG! Thank you for addressing this issue with the kiddos. LOVED the post, wish I could have been a fly on the wall for that one!
:)
Ok, might have figured out the twitter thing...post something woman and lets see if I get it:) Shelby
Even though the post is hilarious... my real question is are you at THE ultrasound and will you twitter the gender if you find out!?! SOME OF US (not mentioning names to protect the guilty) are very impatient with these types of details... :) Love ya!
You are funny! THAT U/S is in a few weeks. ;)
